I have delusions, and you want me to participate in a ghost story?

When this cold reminder sounded, Zhou Xiaochuan knew that he had passed the Datong Hotel.

And it’s a 100% completion of the plot exploration!

But this SSS-level reward...

Enter the next ghost story copy immediately?

What kind of reward is this?
While Zhou Xiaochuan was still thinking, a white light exploded in his mind and he immediately fell into unconsciousness.

However, Xie Jiaojiao, who was standing next to him, still had a smile on her face.

But her body was also covered by the white light and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.

……

Xiaguo, Ghost Story Handling Bureau.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhou Xiaochuan finally hold out and get through the strange story.

"In fact, the biggest murderous intention of this strange story appeared at the very beginning. Those six chosen ones were actually weird.

If you don't see through this, and kill the six Chosen Ones between 6am and 8am the next day, you won't be able to clear this dungeon."

Professor He jumped the video to the next morning. Just as he was about to review this strange story, the computer screen of the Bureau of Strange Stories Processing changed again.

What was displayed on the screen turned into the scene in the Haicheng Ghost Story Processing Bureau.

Jiang Liangjin was wearing a long palace dress, sitting on a throne carved with four real dragons, looking at the monitor with a smile in her eyes.

Next to her, a girl in green, about twelve years old, was eating an ice cream cone and looking at everything here curiously.

The girl next to her was Xie Jiaojiao!
Looking at Jiang Liangjin and Xie Jiaojiao on the screen, all members of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau stood up and bowed to them collectively.

So it seems that Xie Jiaojiao is also from civilization 001?
No wonder he helped Zhou Xiaochuan!
However, Jiang Liangjin's next words made them all lose their composure.

"My husband will not return, because the ghost story is about to happen again."

The ghost story comes again?

But Zhou Xiaochuan had just passed the ghost story!
The members of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau began to stare at each other at this time.

The atmosphere was very tense for a moment.

It was Shen Weichen who broke the silence.

“When I passed Lingjiang No. 2 Middle School and went to Datong Hotel before, Brother Chuan always took an old bus to leave or enter the dungeon, but this time, Brother Chuan just teleported away.

This is exactly the same as the way the Dashi Village left before. When I first saw it, I felt something was wrong. "

As soon as she finished speaking, a somewhat cold reminder sounded in everyone's mind.

[A new round of selection of the Chosen Ones is underway...]

[It was detected that Xia Country already has a Chosen One, the selection failed. 】

[In this strange story, the name of Xia Country’s Chosen One is Zhou Xiaochuan.]

……

This prompt tone sounded simultaneously in the minds of all human beings.

[Since the actual participant of the Ghost Talk Datong Hotel is only Zhou Xiaochuan, the Chosen One of Xia Country, the next ghost talk will start immediately. ]

[No outside tips are allowed for this ghost story. 】

[Name of the strange story: Bus No. 44. ]

Of course, this prompt tone also rang in Zhou Xiaochuan's mind.

After Zhou Xiaochuan felt dizzy for a while, he opened his eyes and found himself on a bus.

The layout of this bus is very similar to the bus I took when I left Lingjiang No. 2 Middle School and went to Datong Hotel!

The bus was extremely old and had a strong smell of gasoline.

Zhou Xiaochuan happened to be a little carsick, so he felt very uncomfortable on the bus.

However, there are also some differences from the bus that took him from Lingjiang No. 2 Middle School to Datong Hotel.

That means there is a driver on this bus!

The place where Zhou Xiaochuan was sitting at the moment was the last row of the bus.

There are five seats.

I was sitting in the last row of the bus, looking at the bus driver at the front of the bus. Although I couldn't see clearly, I could feel that there was something wrong with the bus driver.

Because this bus driver was not wearing a driver's uniform. Instead, he was wearing a construction site work suit and a white safety helmet on his head.

Is this guy a bus driver or a supervisor on the construction site?

The guy on the construction site wearing a white hard hat is usually a supervisor sitting in the office and has a good income.

But this bus driver...

Now they are in a ghost story copy, so Zhou Xiaochuan will not miss any suspicious points.

Zhou Xiaochuan turned on the camera function of his mobile phone, zoomed in the camera, and observed the driver.

The bus driver's work clothes were extremely worn out, and there were many tiny holes as small as pinholes on the blue work jacket.

On the back of the clothes, near the neck, there are four big words engraved.

"Made in Chase".

Chase Manufacturing?
Zhou Xiaochuan put away his phone.

Datong, Pei Datong?
Could this instance be related to Chase Hotel?
Could this be a coincidence?
Zhou Xiaochuan touched his head and found that he was wearing a wig.

This wig was exactly what Xie Jiaojiao wore on his head when they were still at the Chase Hotel.

He pulled off the wig and found that his head was still smooth and had the scars of a monk.

There's something wrong with this copy!
Zhou Xiaochuan realized this when he touched his smooth head.

He is not a bald man, let alone a monk.

The reason why he turned into a bald monk in the Chase Hotel was because of his innate paranoia!
But why does he still look like a bald monk now?

Logically speaking, as long as you leave the ghost story copy Datong Hotel, you will return to normal and become the original state!
Moreover, this copy itself is extremely strange. This is the first time in history that after completing a ghost story copy, you have to participate in a second copy.

While Zhou Xiaochuan was deep in thought, the bus, which had been stationary, suddenly started moving.

The bus was traveling very slowly, and because it was traveling on a mountain road, it was very bumpy.

When the bus started, Zhou Xiaochuan only felt an extremely cold breath enveloping the bus.

At this time, his mobile phone also received a message alert sound.

The person who sent the message was the only contact in his phone, Xie Jiaojiao. All of the above made Zhou Xiaochuan certain of one fact: he had not really left the Datong Hotel.

In other words, he just left the Chase Hotel, but did not leave the world of ghost stories to which the Chase Hotel belonged.

Otherwise, how could Xie Jiaojiao be the only contact in his phone?

At this time, Xie Jiaojiao in the Haicheng Ghost Story Processing Bureau sneezed.

"Ah-yawn!"

She rubbed her nose, looked at Jiang Liangjin who was sitting on the dragon chair watching the live broadcast of the ghost story, and said, "Mom, what's going on? I clearly didn't send a text message to Dad."

Jiang Liangjin smiled and said, "Of course you can't send him a text message, he is still in the world of ghost stories. This is the world of ghost stories using the mobile phone as a medium to publish the rules.

However… this strange story, although not very difficult, may even be the simplest strange story that my husband has ever experienced. But this strange story contains a lot of information. "

Jiang Liangjin closed her eyes and murmured, "I hope my husband can discover something through this strange talk."

Xie Jiaojiao was a little confused and asked, "Can't mom tell dad this information directly? Is there any need to explore it in the world of ghost stories?"

Jiang Liangjin touched Xie Jiaojiao's head and said, "Silly child, mother cannot tell your father this information directly. He can only explore these things by himself."

Then she closed her eyes again.

"All his strange stories are special."

……

The world of strange stories, on the bus.

Zhou Xiaochuan was looking at the rules information on the mobile phone screen.

[Hello Mr. Zhou Xiaochuan, welcome to take bus No. 44. Lingjiang Public Transport Group Co., Ltd. is committed to providing good and high-quality services to all passengers. But for your own safety, you need to know these safety tips when taking the bus.

First: This bus does not have a terminal, please do not get on or off this bus for any reason.

Second: The bus will pass through four stations: Dashi Village, Lingjiang No. 444 Middle School, Datong Hotel, and Ward 444. Please find the only weird thing on the bus when you arrive at the fourth station, Ward . Otherwise, you will stay on the bus forever.

Third: The weirdness that will not actively harm you is not considered weird on this bus.

Fourth: You can only use your innate ability to attack the only weird on the bus. If you use your innate ability under other circumstances, you will be wiped out. 】

And in addition to this rule, there is another message.

[Clearance conditions: Before bus No. 44 reaches ward No. 444, find the only weird thing on the bus and use your innate ability to eliminate it.]

After reading these rules and information, Zhou Xiaochuan fell into deep thought.

Because there are too few rules given in this copy!
And the conditions for passing the level are also given directly.

There are only four rules, which is even fewer than the first ghost story dungeon he participated in, Oishi Village!

There are nine rules in Dashi Village.

Generally speaking, the difficulty of this kind of ghost story copy is generally relatively simple.

But this copy doesn’t seem easy!
The first three of the four bus stops are all copies that he has already experienced!
Dashi Village, Lingjiang No. 2 Middle School, and Datong Hotel.

What does this actually mean?
And the strangeness of not actively harming oneself is not considered strange on this bus?
But how do you determine whether the weirdness will really hurt you?
While Zhou Xiaochuan was thinking, the bus suddenly braked and stopped.

The bus was already old, and there was a persistent smell of gasoline inside the bus. The bus was also driving on an extremely bumpy mountain road, and the sudden brakes made Zhou Xiaochuan's stomach churn.

"We have arrived at Dashi Village. Passengers who wish to get off please exit from the back door in an orderly manner and avoid crowding."

Then, there was a "bang" sound, and the front and rear doors of the bus were opened.

Zhou Xiaochuan resisted the urge to vomit and looked out the window.

It was drizzling outside the bus, and dark clouds covered the moon, shrouding the window in darkness. Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't see what was outside at all.

"Ali! Ali! Ali! Ohhhh! Ohhhh! Open the door! Open the door!"

At this moment, a magical and strange singing voice came from the front door of the bus. The singing must have come from the mouth of a child, with a childish voice and chaotic tones.

Along with the singing, there was also the sound of a cane hitting the ground.

Then, a dark-skinned child with messy hair like weeds and a one-legged man with a crutch got on the bus.

The two of them sat together at the front of the bus.

After getting on the bus, the child kept singing the strange song "Ali! Ali!", while the one-legged man on crutches held an urn in one hand and drank beer with the other hand, with a gloomy look on his face.

After the two got on the bus, the bus driver said, "The next stop is Lingjiang No. 2 Middle School. It will arrive in about ten minutes. Passengers who want to get off please be ready."

After saying this, the bus was on its way again.

Strangely, this time the bus did not drive on the bumpy mountain road in the countryside, but suddenly drove on the neat and clean asphalt road.

The change was extremely sudden. In the previous second, the bus was driving on the bumpy mountain road at an extremely slow speed. In the next second, the bus's speed returned to normal and it was driving on the asphalt road without any bumps.

The scenery outside the window changed from pitch black to a bustling city scene.

To call it a prosperous city is actually not accurate.

Because there are many tall buildings and shops in this city.

But there was no light at all.

The only thing that made it possible to see the city clearly was the moonlight.

Not only were there no lights, but there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the streets. On the huge city streets, only bus No. 44 was driving alone.

……

Zhou Xiaochuan was not unfamiliar with the two people who got on the bus in Dashi Village, and was even very familiar with them.

Because these two were the two key weirdnesses he encountered in Dashi Village!

The singer who sang "Ali! Ali!" was Huang Xiaoqin, who was known as the Little Heshen.

The man holding the urn and drinking beer was Huang Xiaoqin's father, Uncle Huang.

In the ghost story Dashi Village, in order to attract traffic, Uncle Huang asked Little Heshen Huang Xiaoqin and his brother Huang Xiaoyong to live broadcast with his cousin and Yang Di played by Zhou Xiaochuan, which eventually led to a series of tragedies.

However, the two of them should have been relieved after they cleared the ghost story Oishi Village.

Why does it appear on bus No. 44 now?

Would they recognize themselves now?
These two people are definitely weird! But on the No. 44 bus, only those who hurt themselves are considered weird.

At this time, Huang Xiaoqin, who had been singing Little Heshen, stopped singing, suddenly turned around and stared at Zhou Xiaochuan strangely.

"Brother Yang, you are here too!"

PS: This is a short copy, maybe it will be finished in less than ten chapters, but it will provide a very important setting information for the subsequent plot. (End of this chapter)
